I rooted my TF101. I would like to install Ubuntu 12.04. To this end I download a zip file with the Ubuntu image on it. The unzipped file is in excess of 3 GB. I have tried using x-plore and es file explorer, but both programs crash my TF101 when I try to transfer such a large file to the root directory. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I understand that I can copy file from SD Card to phone directory with Astro File Manager but I have downloaded Version 2.5.2 which comes with ads and there is no option which I can enable the permission to copy file to phone directory.
Can anyone advise me whether what file manager can perform this function as I tried to find Astro Pro in the Android Market but cannot find.
Please advise me, thanks.
Hi guys just started with Android system. I have downloaded Torrent Game pack witk single .apk files
also folders with the game files in it. Where should I copy them to the system?
p.s. using "AndExplorer" which explorer is the best?
I use Astro or ES File Explorer to install them. The backup .apk files are kept in /sdcard/backups/apps
I've installed cm9 but it doesn't come with any file explorer.
I don't have any internet access on my phone right now so I can't download from market, but I have to restore the apps using titanium backup.
So I need a flashable zip with a file explorer that works on cm9 to install TitaniumB from my sdcard
you should have copied a file manager apk to the app folder in the rom archive before flashing :|
No need to flash, u can use adb shell to install the app.
adb install filemanager_name.apk
EDIT:
Success !
Thanks

"can't find 'titanium.apk' to install"

The easy way is to put the apk file in the same folder with adb command
or indicate the path to this apk (e.g. adb install /documents/android_apps/filemanager.apk)
the best way is to go in browser and type file:///sdcard/file_managername.apk
to the app folder in the rom archive before
flashing :|
I don't know if it's just me or not. When trying to copy a custom bootanimation.zip to system/media after upgrading to cyanogenmod 10.2, file manager asks to confirm the overwrite, and after clicking overwrite I get an error, "The file or folder was not found." After the error I try going back to storage/emulated and file manager doesn't show anything below emulated. I have to restart the app to see the files and folders below emulated. I am sure the file structure is okay because I can connect it to my pc and browse and manage the files.

Latest root method in Android 4.3 no longer work on /storage/emulated/0/, try use /storage/emulated/legacy to copy your file.
You get used to doing something one way ...

connect youy phone to your computer. In TWRP mount the USB storage. On the computer the sdcard will be mounted. Open the data.ext3.win file with P7ZIP or an other archiver.

it's a TAR archive perhaps try to change the extension
Didn't work either. Moved the file to my ubuntu server and tried tar -zxvf, errored out. changed the extension to tar in windows, cannot open file. Oh well, I just ended up using root explorer to copy the entire data directory to my SD card and pulled it from there. Thank you though!
as you have P7ZIP i suppose you are on a Linux system. P7ZIP is able to open TAR file but only if you have install the fulle version of P7ZIP. On wich distribution do you are ?
